A motorcycle with two riders was traveling east on 8th Street and hit the side of a car that was turning left from 8th onto Governor Ave. The occupant of the car was not hurt but the two motorcycle riders sustained serious injuries and were both transported to the hospital by ambulance. The accident reconstruction specialists will be attending to the scene and the public is asked to avoid the area until traffic restrictions have been lifted. 8th street east bound lanes are closed from Garrison Cres to Preston Ave and the left turning lane from 8th to Grosvenor is also closed until the scene is cleared. The Saskatoon Police Service wish to thank the public for their patience during the closures.
